 Send Ringtones to Your Phone

The duo of Andre 3000 and Big Boi are back at it again with The Art of Storytellin’ (Part 4), set to be featured on (who else) DJ Drama’s upcoming release of Gangsta Grillz: The Album.  Last heard from on Idlewild’s, Hollywood Divorce, the legendary ATliens have seemingly skipped the third part of their series of storytelling.  While the first two parts were featured on the double platinum, Aquemini, and included the assistance of Slick Rick, part four comes nine years later and is assisted by the soulful Marsha Ambrosius of the group Floetry.  As OutKast turns another page in the story of their career, fans anxiously await word on the possibility of another new part; the sooner the better.

This song first appeared on the Rap Chart on November 26, 2007

Andre 3000 has stepped his game up the same way Weezy has. Dre is probably the only rapper out there that can compete with Wayne on a lyrical level right now. He is just so ill on everything he spits on. Big Boi is right on point and Marsha is perfect as usual. Don Cannon is such an underrated producer, I hope to see more work from him in the future. OutKast flava right hur!

I have been on this website daily for about 5 months now, and I can honestly say that this is one of the top 5 all-time songs that you guys have posted. The flows from dre and big boi are both on point, the only problem i have is that Outkast is letting this song go to DJ Drama (grrr) instead of waiting and putting it on their next album. Overall though, HOT!

Andre's verse is hot "out here Brett Favre'n", Big Boi did a good job too... feeling the beat, the hook, and the horn sounds like a down south marching band. Outkast definitely won with this track.

Hot classic Outkast! The beat definitely grows on you. Andre 3000 always seems to amaze me! He knows how to formulate songs, and kill it with the pen and pad! And Big Boi compliments him perfect. One of the best groups ever.

cant wait until DJ Drama's Gangsta Grillz: The Album drops...thats gonna be fire!

This is why Andre is my favorite rapper hands down. Weezy is killin it and deserves the title king of the guest spot cuz he is everywhere, but I'll put Dre's verses up against his anytime, from Throw Some D's, or Player's Anthem, or the Lloyd remix, or especially this one here. I agree with bottom boi, Weezy and Dre are both killin it on a different level than everyone else out there, but for the most part Wayne doesnt reflect the depth of thought that Dre does almost everytime around.

This is FIRE! If the rest of their album is going to sound like this, then it is all over for everyone else! I love how Andre shows everyone that even though he does POP, he is one of the hottest rappers as well! He always rips the mic and Big Boi just completes the duo for the one two punch. Great Track!

If wayne expands and talks more than just money he will elevate higher up but until then ANDRE 3000 is a living ledgen. Give respect where its do Young thundercats..

Oh I am sorry Chanel and no disrespect to 2 Pac as I was raised in Cali off his music.. but he definatly is the best spiritual artist that was way ahead of his time that we will never see agian. But to categorize creativity goes to 3000 lyrics goes to 3000 storytelling ability to take you around the world 3000. What dre is doing is new millinium not post Y2K. So you really cant compare the two times. Now if pac was alive we probably cant even imagine the realms he would have touched.

It is a pleasure to listen to these two pioneers spit lyrics on any track. They both deserve their recognition as the greatest duos in the rap/hip-hop industry. They keep getting stronger. When they come out with a new album, I will be waiting like a lion waiting for a gazelle.
The chorus is nice; the female voice is just right.

Some have it right, others are off their rocker. Outkast is the G.O.A.T. as far as groups. IMHO, Andre is the G.O.A.T. as an individual artist. Lil Waye can't hold Dre's nutz much less hold the same spot as being equal to Mr. 3 Stacks. There is no one alive that is on Andre's level.

Outkast let Drama get this track because their next album is going to be even better than ATLiens. Believe that! They've got much better material than this track and I can't wait for the album to drop.

Naw......ANDRE defines creativity!!!!!! Pac is NO WHERE even close to ANDRE creatively. Andre 3000's lyrics from 1996 are more relevant than 90% of rappers out today.

Please don't get it twisted, when you talkin' 'bout 3 Stacks, you're talkin' 'bout tha G.O.A.T.

Again, you might need to do so research on how "gangsta" Pac really was. Or the fact that he's from NY not Cali. There is nothing fake about Andre 3000. He's got more hot lyrics on Outkast's album "ATLiens" than you can find on all of Pac's albums combined.

Andre 3000 = G.O.A.T.

Of course 3stacks verse was a crazy sick conceptual hard ass verse that makes u think as always. But i was a little surprised at bigboi's verse it wasn't hot as i thought it would be. Overall this track is one of the best sequential songs i ever heard in hiphop.
